OSX WOL and Network Tools...

[gpspad]

I have a bunch of mac minis that I run as servers, I'd like some of them to sleep and to have them WOL if I can.

My main server Im just going to to leave on, but the ones I use run windows and run backups at specific times could defiantly save some power by being sleep some of the time. I have a TC router and running Mojave.

Any suggestion on WOL prigram?

Im also looking for a good OSX IPscanner program, as I get more and more devices on the network, its getting hard to keep track of them all

Dunno about Win WOL.

AngryIP seems pretty good for the price.

Why do you need a tool for this? Any modern OS will put supported hardware into a low power state if you allow it.

Yep. No idea if a Mini running Windows qualifies.

OP: Last I checked recent model Minis only draw 6W when idle....so not really much power to save.

Thanks for the replies.....

I just figured out if the 1st share screen attempt dent go through on a sleeping mini, the 2nd one does, so maybe problem solved.

Im still lookin for something to keep track of the IP addresses on the network, angry IP worked OK, it might have crashed once. It would be nice to have something that is easy to label.
